It doesn't do good FMQ (gets "whiskers" on the back), so I got a Bernina 180 for FMQ, which does an excellent job. Since Janome was my first brand of machine and I still use the MC I bought new in 1995, I'm very happy to hear that you like Janome as well.
Everything is being done on the Horizon now because I sold the 820 in order to purchase another machine. Quilting was becoming something I no longer loved to do because of the frustrations I was having with the 820. I've been so happy with the Horizon though, my love for sewing and quilting has returned. It was kind of an expensive lesson but we all have one or two of those in life.
